Loved watching Emergency as a kid. Especially with a firefighter dad. He’d always comment “where’s the smoke?” whenever they had scenes of fires inside buildings.

My wife and I watched a lot of reruns of the show.
She said "Emergency" really raised awareness of the importance of paramedics and EMT's.
RIP Mr. Mantooth
